CVE-2017-17159

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.5)—

Some Huawei smart phones with software of NXT-AL10C00B386, NXT-CL00C92B386, NXT-DL00C17B386, NXT-TL00C01B386SP01, NTS-AL00C00B535 have a DoS vulnerability due to insufficient input validation. An unauthenticated attacker could send malformed System Information(SI) messages to the smart phone within radio range by special wireless device. Successful exploit could make the smart phone restart.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
